THE TEXT BOOK BILL.
Ispeclnl Correspondenee.l
AUSTIN, Tex, Feb, 1888

AUSTIN, lex, EeD., 1851.
A bill proposing under certain condi-
tions 10 estPblish county uniformity Of
text books for the public schools OF
Texas, passed the lower house late
last week, evidently without that con-
sideration due a subject involving, per-
haps, the expenditure of more money
and more internal strife than any other
measure submitted now or to be sub
mitted during the current session of the
legislature. Your correspondent having
been engaged in educational pursuits
for some years, and having observed
the operation of laws enacted for the
ostensble relief of the public in the
matter of uniformity OF text books.
speaks advisedly on this subject, and
feels that he owes il TO the public OF
Texas to say word in condemnation
of measure that would, ii formulated
into law, result disastrously to the pub
llc school interests of state that has,
if properly guarded and protected a
future unequaled by any state in the
Union. Radical changes either in our
social or pol teal economy, whether
attended with nominal ar extraordinary
expenditure of money, have, as a rule,
been found iuimical to public progress
and instead of conserving the purposes
defined in the context, have on the con-
trary conserved the interest of a few
schemers who, masqucradng rs the
conscrvilors of the public veal have
prostituted the public's good to their
selfish ends. Perhaps in no branch of
our economic system involving the
interests Of all the people. has there
been greater injustice done the poor
than has resulted from text book legis-
lation in this country. regret to say
that careful analysis of measures in
iroduced INTO the law making mills of
this country, and many of which were
carried to a successful issue, would
invariably ssbow the fine Italian hand
oi some gigantic publishing house
struggling for II monopoly of the text
book trade with view of maintaining
prices at an eXorbitant figure.
The bill in question proposes a coun-
ty uniformity of books TO be changed

Virginia's Last Blow.

RICHMOND, April 1S.-Commonwealth
Attorney Witt of this city,at the in
stance of the sinking fund commission
ers of the state, has taken steps to pre-
vent the $l5, 600 of forged Riddieber-
ger bonds of Virginia, sent here by
Blake Bros, OF Boston, and firm in
Baltimore, from being returned. 1t is
the intention of the authorities to
trace up the author of these forgeries
and the law officers of the city desire
that the bonds shall be retained as eyi-
dence in any proceeding that may be
instituted against the perpetrators of
the bungling attempt at forgery. 1t
is believed that these worthless bonds
have been placed in other markets OF
the country. Mr.. Edgar Allen, the
counsel here for the Kendall Bank
Note company Of New York, last eve
ming received a telegram from Mr.
George H. Kendall of the concern, in
which he said that he had that day
heard of the sale of large blocks o
these bonds printed by their establish
ment for the state of Virginia. Thi
information may enable the authori
ties to trace up these forgeries.
